On the Cambridge South project, Arcadis is the primary design consultant, helping deliver a brand-new four-platform station, railway systems improvements, and access improvements to the Cambridge Biomedical Campus, Addenbrookes Hospital, and Hobson’s Park. With early passenger numbers expected to increase to over 2 million by 2043, this station is essential and will improve the quality of life for the people who live and work in the area.

Arcadis chose Bentley applications to coordinate in a 3D environment and used clash detection to ensure everyone was aligned on the project. ProjectWise acted as the connected data environment for all phases of the project while OpenRoads created a parametric corridor that automatically updated, resulting in earthworks reuse increasing from 60% to 100%. MicroStation helped detect and resolve 26,539 clashes, saving significant time. By creating a 4D timeline of construction, the team reduced risk, site complexity, and construction time.
